Unit Titles (Fees) Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2010-129
made under the
Unit Titles Act 2001, s 179 (Determination of fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Unit Titles Act 2001 is an Act to provide for the subdivision of land by units plans and the management of units plans by owners corporations, and for other purposes.

Section 179 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees.  

The purpose of this determination is to revoke Disallowable Instrument DI 2009 - 143 that set fees for the 2009-10 financial year and to determine fees for the 2010-11 financial year.

Overall the fees determined for the 2010-11 financial year represent the 2009-10 financial year fees increased in accordance with ACT Treasury’s inflation factor of 3.5% (2010/11 Budget Paper No 3.).  Appropriate rounding has occurred in relation to the increases.

An anomaly in the fee amount for the amendment of a development from unstaged to staged has been corrected in this determination. No increase has been applied in the respective unstaged and staged development fees.

As a result of legislative changes to the Unit Titles Act 2001 through the, Construction Occupations Legislation Amendment Act 2010, Part 3, a new fee ‘Appoint Unit Title Works Assessor’ has been included.

Wording changes have been made to clarify fees for mixed use developments.

The fees take effect on 1 July 2010.

The determination under section 179 of the Act is a disallowable instrument.
